usually demure goat. Some 20 'ng
lads use the lot every Sunday as foot
ball ground. They " kicking the
Dali about with great glee when the goat
came ont OF the shed and Nj Do'lan,
lts owner, came TO the door Of her shsnty.
The goat gascd with dise'proval on the
-Sundln Ill, then levclIY. its horns and
wen. out to meet il. TIE encou..t ter was
not conducive to the goats peace Of
mind, and it essayed another attack.
The boys by common consent mace the
goat the goal OF the game and PEI, d it
with the biz ball until it was knocked
over { its side, and Mrs. ID Ian rushed
among the9 10 rescue it and barely
escaped being hit herself
At one point near the end OF old
| Broadway, where the houses are poor
and the people likewise, some lads were
/ playing horse. They riFSed up an old
/ soap-bOX on wheels into something like a
fre-engine. A boy at a distan point
pounded on a tin pan Rs mimic alarm
Of fire, and the portable soap-box drawn
by the heet-iooted boys quickly respond
/ cd. One Of the horses lost his shoe and
youngster, whose father is a black
/ smith, to k him aside, took his foot
between his legs, after the manner OF
a smith Shocing horse, and hammered
the shoe back into place. While the
sOap-bOx brigade were waiting at the
roadside dandyish little boy from one
Of ,he mansions on the boulevard came
along driving pretty black pony hitch d
to a dog-cart. Instantly the poor bows.
whose soap-box looked more mean than
ever beside the handsome dog-cart,
greeted It's driver with such: "Whered
ye git de meat-wagon 2" "Oh, take
de plug pony away" The boy quickly
turned his steed about and drove away
10 escape the criticisms of the fire bri-
gade. He found, however, that he had
jumped out of the frying-psn INTO the
fire. He turned down on the broad
boulevard near e-hundred-and-thirty-
fifth street and ran INTO a crowd Of bows
who were playing hocky, which some
have called pedestrian polo. They fairly
filed up the street and were knocking
the ball hither and yon with great en-
ergy. In one of its flights it hit the
pony, which reared, turned sharply
about, and nearly threw the lad from his
seat He tried to drive in an opposite
direction only to encounter another of
the gangs Of hockey players that viz
tually take possession Of the boulevard
on Sunday. and he WAS compelled to
take a cross street and roundabout way
home.
Just before you reach Manhattan street
on the boulevard You pass some old
shanties. There is at least one goat to
each shanty. Two boys crept into the
shanty village and lsssoed a goat Of the
color Of dirty door mat. They led It
away despite its protest, rugged up
bride, put an improvised bit in It's mouth
and whipped it into a canter They
drove IT up and down the street and
then IN a moment of unwisdom born
of too much fun they galloped it near
It's residence. They were driving it
to beat oil previous records when there
was yell from among the humble huts,
and a very large and muscular woman
dashed among the drivers and rctmncrs
Of the goat and scattered blows on their
heads as she yelled "Ah ha. We young
spalpeens Olive caught We now. Now
Oh know why NE goat keeps so poor all .
the while. Ye've been driven him to
death widout me knowledge. Take that, .
and that, We young devils :"
The race was declared of' and the cx-
hau~tet goat was taken home.
